Abstract

This article describes the case of CD in a 53-year-old female patient with cystic formations distributed throughout the hepatic parenchyma, fortuitously diagnosed in adulthood, during the etiological investigation of non-specifi c abdominal pain. Case report A 53-year-old femal patient was seen in consultation. She complained of abdominal pain, which had started a year ago.

“…On the other hand, the treatment of choice for this disease is surgery such as segmentectomy, lobectomy, or hepaticojejunostomy 7 . Although previous studies report hepatic resection as an optimal treatment for most of those affected by Caroli's disease 8 , it can have important consequences on the patient's health.…”

Hepatic multiple hyperintense cystic lesions: a rare caroli disease.

Some researchers assume that the presence of an unbalanced translocation between chromosomes 3 and 8 is the underlying cause of CD, indicating the pathogenetic role of distal 3p and 8q loss or gain or both in CD.…”
